Not really a big game because i doubt either team will throw everything they've got at each other. Duncan, Parker, and Ginobli have all been sitting. This game should be used to get the bench players some playing time and get their confidence up for the playoffs.
I sold my tickets for this game, Duncan, parker, and ginobili will probably sit out. LOL i will kick myself if they play it like a playoff game. I think spurs will still win with the bench lol JK
Neither team will do anything to give away what they will do for the playoffs. this is a totally meaningless game.
So far the lil nba Go Nuggets post has been followed by eight wins out of nine games. Something in Memphis prevented the good luck from working there. But it has brought more good luck to the Nuggets than they had in their first 72 games of the season combined. So let's see if it can get a ninth win for 9-1. tremaine: Go Nuggets!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The form is "Go Nuggets" followed by 32 exclamation points. I think the form must be exact for the good luck to work.
